BIGGEST XRP NEWS Since 2012? | Staking | Flare Deflationary Ripple engineers are openly discussing native XRP staking, governance upgrades, and on-chain DeFi capabilities — something the XRPL community has waited years to hear. If implemented, this could be the biggest shift since 2012, unlocking new utility, yield mechanics, and deeper network participation. At the same time, Flare Network just dropped a massive update: Hugo Philion revealed they're exploring ways to make FLR non-inflationary — or even deflationary. This could completely transform the tokenomics model and re-rate the entire ecosystem. Tonight we break down: • Ripple's staking discussion • Akinyele & Schwartz on governance + programmability • What staking would mean for XRP utility • How much supply could be locked up • Flare's path toward deflation • The broader impact on crypto markets This is one you don't want to miss.

Every entrepreneur has a moment where they look in the mirror and quietly wonder if they are fooling everyone around them. I have had that moment more times than I can count, and in this episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, I sit down with someone who once admitted she felt the exact same way at the height of her confidence on stage. Her name is Natalie Bevacqua, and our conversation dives deep into the parts of the entrepreneurial journey most people never talk about. If you have ever struggled with imposter syndrome, felt the urge for a midlife reinvention, or wondered whether you could start over as an introverted entrepreneur, I want you to hear this. Natalie and I go all the way back to Austin in 2005. When I first met her, she walked into every room with a level of confidence and charisma that made people lean in. I assumed she had it all figured out. What I later learned is that behind that confidence lived a woman who was just as nervous, anxious, and uncertain as the rest of us. In this interview, we revisit that moment and unpack what it means to lead while still wrestling with doubt, how to stop caring so much about what other people think, and why the messy, unpolished parts of our stories are the most relatable and powerful. Natalie Bevacqua opens up about leaving Austin, moving to a brand new city in her 50s, and starting from scratch. Imagine being a woman entrepreneur, well-established and successful, suddenly landing in a place where you know no one except your husband. At a time when many people begin settling into routine, she chose to rebuild her community, her business, and her identity from the ground up. That kind of midlife reinvention takes courage most people never access, and she walks us through exactly what that journey taught her. As we talk, she shares how her entrepreneurial path has been shaped by overcoming self-doubt, trusting herself, and learning how to build authentic connections instead of forced networking. We explore how introverts can thrive in business, how personal growth changes in our 30s, 40s, and 50s, and why entrepreneurship remains one of the greatest gifts we have. With over 25 years as an entrepreneur in the health, wellness, and beauty industry, Natalie has dedicated her career to empowering women to prioritize their well-being while creating lives of purpose and meaning. As a breast cancer and melanoma survivor, she has learned firsthand the importance of nurturing both inner and outer health. Those seasons deepened her passion for helping women build confidence, resilience, and radiant health from the inside out. Natalie hosts wellness programs, her signature Wellness Wednesday texts, and Women's Circles, all designed to help women feel supported, strong, and seen. If you are seeking wellness guidance, community, or mentorship to rediscover your own glow, she would love to connect with you. If you feel stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from your purpose, I hope this interview reminds you that reinvention is possible at any age. You can start over in a new city. You can shift careers. You can take control of your future. You can grow even while scared. And a single conversation or small moment of courage can create a Ripple Effect that changes everything.

The lights drop in Atlanta and Paul McCartney steps into a room full of memory—and invention. We unpack how an icon in his eighties still delivers a two-hour-forty marathon by leaning on tight harmonies, a punchy horn section, and the kind of live tech that lets Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite explode off a modern stage. The show's emotional peak arrives when Paul sings I've Got a Feeling with John via Get Back footage, a moment that proves technology can connect past and present without cheapening either one.From there we chase the thread of discovery. Remember when The Doors felt brand new again in 1980? A radio deep dive, Apocalypse Now, and a greatest hits record turned Hello, I Love You and Riders on the Storm into fresh obsessions for a new generation. We map that rush forward and backward: how L.A. Woman and Morrison Hotel still punch, how Mr. Mojo Risin' became every teenager's riddle. Along the way, we decode the stories behind The Rolling Stones' Get Off of My Cloud and Neil Diamond's Cracklin' Rosie, and how fame, loneliness, and late-night singalongs sneak into pop myth.Then we give American Beauty the close listen it deserves. From Box of Rain's tenderness to Ripple's campfire wisdom and Truckin's road-scarred grin, we talk sequencing, sunshine daydream codas, and the tradition behind I Know You Rider. We round out the tour with U2's Boy—lean, urgent, and still startling—and a Ramones reappraisal that finds great songs beneath Phil Spector's glossy wall. Through it all, one idea keeps returning: artists adapt, listeners evolve, and the best songs keep meeting us where we are.If that resonates, hit play, follow the show, and share it with a friend who loves live music and music history. Leave a review to tell us which song hit you differently this time—we'll feature our favorite takes on a future episode.Send us a one-way message.

In this electrifying episode of The Yard Sign podcast, hosts dive headfirst into the seismic shifts of the 2025 off-year elections, dubbing it a "blue ripple" rather than a full-blown wave. They unpack Zohran Mamdani's stunning upset victory as New York City's socialist mayor-elect, critiquing his promises of free groceries, buses, and taxing the top 1% while predicting gridlock with Governor Kathy Hochul and zero federal aid from President Trump. The panel mocks Mamdani's immediate post-election fundraising plea for his all-female transition team, likening it to a high school student council scam, and contrasts it with NYC's gritty capitalist underbelly amid rent control woes and slum-like luxury apartments. Shifting to Virginia's predictable Democratic flip—blamed on government shutdown fallout and low GOP turnout—they debate if these results signal Democratic hope for 2026 midterms or just blue strongholds doing what they do best. Tangents explode into housing crises, slamming union bureaucracy, land scarcity, and proposals to freeze property taxes for paid-off homes, while roasting Tampa's anti-gentrification denialism. The conversation heats up with a juicy recap of the Hillsborough County GOP Reagan Day Dinner, where correspondent Marcos Rivera spills tea on tense vibes: a sweaty, frazzled Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez dodging hecklers, Rep. Byron Donalds stealing the show with nuclear power and trade worker pitches that scream presidential timber, and whispers of Trump vs. DeSantis proxy wars in Florida's 2026 governor race. They speculate on Donalds' unstoppable trajectory—bolstered by Trump endorsement and donor cash—versus Rep. Jay Collins' veteran baggage and potential scandals, urging him to grind as LG first. Wrapping on a whimsical yet dystopian note, the hosts dissect Tom Brady cloning his dog for $50K via a U.S. firm, questioning ethics amid shelter overflows and inbreeding risks, before veering into robotics and AI as eerie echoes of clinging to the past—like Kim Kardashian's home bots. With biting humor, unfiltered takes, and calls for GOP organizing, this episode is a must-listen for politicos eyeing midterms and tech's wild frontier. **Topic Segments:** - 00:00:22 - 00:25:00: Intro & Blue Ripple Election Breakdown (NYC Mamdani Win, Virginia Flips, Midterm Implications) - 00:25:00 - 00:45:00: NYC Housing/Crime Tangents & Historical Mayoral Pendulum - 00:45:00 - 01:00:00: Hillsborough GOP Reagan Dinner Recap (Nuñez Drama, Donalds Spotlight) - 01:00:00 - 01:08:42: Florida 2026 Governor Speculation (Donalds vs. Collins) & Tom Brady Dog Cloning/AI Close **YouTube Tags:** politics podcast, 2025 elections, NYC mayor Mamdani, blue wave analysis, Trump endorsement, DeSantis legacy, Byron Donalds governor, Jay Collins Florida, Hillsborough GOP dinner, Reagan Day event, Tom Brady dog cloning, AI robotics future, housing crisis NYC, property tax reform, midterm predictions 2026, socialist policies critique, Virginia election flip, Tampa politics **Title Suggestions:** 1.
